Bill Keen has a passion for helping others achieve their retirement dreams and founded Keen Wealth Advisors with this goal in mind. Bill’s vision is to build one of the country’s most trusted retirement advisory firms, acting at all times in the best interests of clients. Bill and his team work with an array of clients from all industries but specialize in advising those within the architecture, engineering, and construction community on issues related to ESOP plans, compensation, taxes, benefits planning, and much more.

Bill has over three decades of experience advising clients. His interest in finance was sparked by the financial hardship he experienced in his childhood. By age 10, Bill knew he would need to learn about saving and investing to eventually help his family. He opened his first investment account in high school. Today, his team treats all the firm’s clients like family members, as he understands first-hand the importance of planning for one’s financial future. 

Bill shares his wisdom and experience in his bestselling book, Keen on Retirement – Engineering the Second Half of Your Life, which is available on Amazon.com. He also co-hosts a regular podcast series, Keen on Retirement™, in which he shares his insight on current issues related to retirement planning and investing. An early adopter of podcasting, Bill’s podcast is nearing its 10th year of production with close to 300 episodes available on all the major podcast platforms. He has been featured on national media outlets such as U.S. News and World Report, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal’s Market Watch, Forbes, and Yahoo! Finance.

In addition, he has presented at UCM and lectured on investing at the University of Missouri Block School of Business graduate program and multiple corporations in the Kansas City area. 

Bill is an instrument-rated private pilot and carries high performance, high altitude, and complex endorsements. He is a member of the Malibu/M-Class Owner and Pilots Association and regularly flies his Piper Meridian to destinations across the country. He is also a volunteer pilot and serves on the board for Angel Flight Central.  This non-profit assists those in need by arranging flights for healthcare and other humanitarian purposes.

He has also been involved with or supported the Boys and Girls Club of America, Family Conservancy, NAMI, The Kansas City Girls Preparatory Academy, Camp Quality Kansas, Camp Quality Missouri, The Veterans Community Project, Make-A-Wish, Exodus Cry, Kansas District Optimists, and others.   

As a cycling enthusiast, Bill is also a supporter of the cycling community and Keen Wealth Advisors serves as the title sponsor for the Big D Cycling team. The team competes throughout the U.S. and participates in bicycle rodeos to conduct helmet fittings and bicycle repairs for children. In 2013, along with The Kansas Cycling Association (KCA), The Keen Wealth Cup was created as an annual recognition of the top KCA team, as well as an opportunity to support junior racing in the state of Kansas.
